What year did Fender start offering/reissuing the 65 Reissue Fender Mustangs?
Also...I was looking into the Seymour Duncan TB-4 JB mod for F-spacing - No Tune-O-Matic and found this..."Seymour Duncan TB-4 JB Model Trembucker Humbucker, Bridge". In the description is says its a "Reverse Pickup"...But the SH-4 model doesn't appear to be a Reverse Pickup...So my question is what's Reverse Pickup?
Seems like the 1990's.
"In 1990 Fender re-issued the Mustang, largely as a result of the vintage movement prevalent at the time. Among grunge and punk rock guitarists, Fender's discontinued models (budget models such as the Duo-Sonic and high-end models such as the Jazzmaster and Jaguar) had become extremely popular. Such models had Fender quality, but were less expensive secondhand than vintage Stratocasters and Telecasters."
Fender pickups are usually reverse wound. It means that the positive and ground are the reverse of other pickups. To compensate usually you would switch the hot and ground when installing a non-fender pickup to compensate and avoid phasing issues. Since a Trembucker is made to go in to Fender guitars they made it reverse wound so you can install it with the hot and ground going to the normal soldering spots. The SH-4 is made for non-Fenders so it is standard wound. If you installed a SH-4 in a Fender guitar, normally you would need to use the Green (ground) as the hot wire and Black (hot) wire as the ground to avoid phasing issues with the other Fender pickup.
Hope that helps! 😀
